classical sense. It only appends a set of 1:1 features to a physical
reality, and the results lose all the practicity once the reality goes away.
For me, the maps of Borges and Carroll are impractical in the sense that the

Hi,
Thanks Edward for the links.
All the best with the AR work everyone doing that.
I go along with Alan, Eric and Pablo. 1:1 Scale is fine, but what detail is
wanted, what resolution, what objects are simplified in this map? We can’t have
all views from everywhere unless they are in some way
Maybe the distinction is that what is being mapped here is not so much the
physical - which is present in the 'background' - but rather the additional
properties of the physical objects - the rating of the restaurant, the

Scale of 1 to 1
It is a must read (as is the entire book, really):

Here's what I was trying to make:
http://github.com/migurski/GridTile
It's a small extension to TileCache that dynamically pumps out UTM and
MGRS grids. I'm going to add USNG when I've got a moment.
